  • I'm looking for one on one play by post system recommendations

    Oh I almost forgot! If you’re playing over Discord, there’s a Discord bot called TheOracle that can help you handle dice rolls, track progress, and provide a rules reference.
  • What is your preferred online or digital platform to play Ironsworn, and why?

    i used roll20 for a good long while, but now i play on discord with TheOracle, a discord bot. both will do the trick, and it's probably a matter of taste, but for my purposes TheOracle + discord has proven more comfortable for playing Ironsworn.
  • Tracking Co-Op games

    I use discord. And would probably still use it if in person. The Oracle is an amazing discord bot that can be used to track almost everything. In person I'd use a physical sheet and dice. But The Oracle can be used to track NPCs, Delves, Progress tracks, and other locations.

    There is an app I think that isn’t available in my country. The site works well enough on my phone but I must open the character sheet in another tab so I still have to go back and forth between the two. As someone else said, you can also look at the discord bot ( https://github.com/XenotropicDev/TheOracle ). For ironsworn (and starforged when they release the character sheet) I still prefer roll20 I think.

    > There are alternate Discord clients, and — unlike Slack — Discord doesn't try to actively prevent people from writing alternate clients against their API.

    Yes, they do.

    > Hey, so I know this is somewhat of a bummer, but I got banned because of ToS violation today. This seemed to be connected to creating a new PM channel via the /users/@me endpoint. As that's basically a confirmation for what we've believed would never be enforced, I decided to not work on the cordless project anymore. I'll be taking down cordless in package managers in hope that no new users will install it anymore without knowing the risks. I believe that if you manage to build it yourself, you've probably read the README and are aware of the risks. I'll keep the repository up, but might archive it at some point. And yes, you'll still be able to use existing binaries for as long as discord doesn't introduce any more breaking changes. However, be aware that the risk of getting a ban will only get higher with time!
